CFL officials should be officiating 1 to 2 levels below pro
CFL Playbooks are very thin and simple
The vast majority of the fans in the stands at CFL games know virtually nothing about the sport
CFL X's and O's are largely about trying to hide the Canadians
And yes McMahon needs a replacement before the dome

I'm slightly biased to the CFL as I was introduced to it first.
I like the openness of the field as it gives skill guys more room to do what they do best but im rather neutral on this. QBs need to be accurate in Canada (only having 3 downs contributes to that as well)
Playing D in Canada is harder as there is more room to cover.
I detest the fair catch rule. Make the returner do something. There were multiple return TDs almost every week this past season. And kickoffs actually mean something in Canada
CFL refs need more training, no argument there.
Probably 80% of CFL offense is out of the shotgun or pistol formation. Simpler in ways, yet the NFL is finally catching up in some ways (read option)
Most fans in Canada are clueless about the rules.
Hiding the Canadians is slowly starting to change as more skill guys are being developed but for the large part I agree.
Personally, I would love to see NFL athletes play with CFL rules (meaning they can actually hit somebody)
